Jesus as man you are my totem, the reminder of reality.
You walked like all men walk, up the path that leads to death.
A struggle up Calvary’s hill… a dead man walking.
Before, Behind, Beside, hang the guilty and the repentant
Reality is…You came to die.
It was Your goal, Your destiny, Your prize
Your reason to be…How human of you.
Yet you modeled the climb.
That it can be done blamelessly.
By extending love to the undeserving
And accepting punishment undeserved.
Fully human, you had only the Word of Your Father,
a promise that there was something beyond life’s end…
and You believed Him.
Jesus, as God you are my Muse, the reminder of possibility
You walk the length and breadth of eternity.
Before, Behind, Beside, are the forgiven.
Faith is…You lived again.
It was Your goal, Your destiny, Your prize
Your reason to be…How immortal of you.
You model forever
That it can be…
By extending Love to the undeserving
And accepting the punishment of Another
Fully God, Jesus, I have only Your Word, your Promise
Your Example, that there is something beyond this life’s end…
And I believe You.
